Additional sources used for this refresh include:
Defining NOAH
We use CoStar’s definition for naturally-occurring affordable housing (NOAH):
Non-subsidized rents, one or two star rating, built before 2000, Class B or C (or unclassified).
Data limitation
Median renter income data only available through 2020.
Data for 1-year 2021 ACS estimates to be released this month; 2017-2021 5-year estimates (more reliable) due early 2023.
Use with caution
Estimates for 2020 (the 2016-2020 5-year ACS release) may be impacted by lower survey response rates during the COVID-19 pandemic.
State and federal eviction protections significantly cut down on evictions
Average eviction judgements per month in 2022 were 62 — an 89 percent reduction from the 2019 average of 576
Data only through March — 16,000 eviction hearings scheduled in August statewide
In 2018, there was a shortage of 7,569 rental units for households below 80% AMI
Greatest need in the county has been among households below 50% AMI
But the need for rental at the higher end has been increasing (15% increase)
Between 2016 and 2020, overall decrease in households making less than $100,000
Due to loss of lower income households and increases in household incomes among homeowners and renters
Home prices following suit — median home price now over $400,000
In stark contrast to homeowners, renter households are not seeing large increases
Most notably, there’s been a decrease in renter households with children by 1,010
